...savage strike last year under bellicose Francis J. Gorman, a number of Federal and local unions plus the State Federations of Utah, Wisconsin and Oregon have all gone on record for an out & out Labor Party to put up a united Labor front at the ballot boxes. But the policy of Boss William Green and most of his lieutenants has been that of a ward leader: "Reward your friends and punish your enemies." At last week's meeting President Green squashed the Labor Party agitation in his keynote address by replying to advice sent last summer from the Comintern...

Geneva realists, aware that the British National Government of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin faces a general election before long, considered Sir Samuel's speech in the nature of an electioneering harangue to British voters, 11,000,000 of whom have just signed a highly idealistic "peace ballot." French voters also must be harangued, and soon that olive-skinned Auvergnat, dexterous Premier Pierre Laval, mounted the Assembly rostrum. Eight minutes later, when he stepped down, M.
